Privacy

Local-first, by design

A tool about something this private should be private by default. So Tideline keeps your information on your own device — not on our servers, because we don’t run any that hold your data.

What we store, and where

When you surf a wave, take a self-check, write a note, or name an anchor, that information is saved in your browser’s local storage — a small space on this device, in this browser. It never travels to us.

  • Waves — time, how it went, intensity, and any trigger you tap.
  • Self-checks — your scores and reflections over time.
  • Notes — anything you write in a check-in.
  • Your anchor — the name and contact you choose to keep close.

What we don’t do

  • No account. No email, no password, no sign-up.
  • No tracking. No analytics, no advertising pixels, no cookies for profiling.
  • No third parties at all. The site loads nothing from outside — not even web fonts from a font service. That means no one else gets to watch you read these pages.
  • No selling or sharing. We have nothing of yours to sell.

Because your data lives on your device, two things follow: clearing your browser data will erase it, and anyone who uses this device and browser could open it. On a shared or family device, keep that in mind.

You’re in control

From My space you can export everything as a simple file to keep, or erase all of it permanently in one tap. There’s no “contact us to delete your data” step, because your data was never ours to hold.

Links out

The Get help page links to independent crisis services (like 988, Samaritans, and Lifeline). Once you follow a link to them, their own privacy terms apply — but reaching them is worth it.

Questions about privacy?

Email hello@fightaddictions.com — the site’s single inbox, read by a real person. (We still don’t want your data; this is only so we can answer you.)

This is a plain-language summary of how the current version works, not a legal contract. If Tideline ever adds a feature that needs to store data outside your device, that will be clearly explained and opt-in first.
